7.20

"Then the Bhagavat sat cross-legged upon the couch of seven treasures, and upon all the lotus blossoms there were Buddhas seated. When the bhikṣus saw that the Buddha was seated, they paid homage to the Buddha, circumambulated him clockwise seven times, and each spread his sitting mat; the bhikṣus' sitting mats all transformed into seats of lapis lazuli. When the bhikṣus took their seats, the lapis lazuli seats emitted lapis lazuli light that formed lapis lazuli caves, and the bhikṣus entered the fire-radiance samādhi, their bodies turning golden. When that king saw the Buddha's supernatural transformations, he joined his palms in joy, circumambulated the Buddha seven times, and paid homage to him. Beholding the Buddha's supernatural transformations, he immediately generated the mind directed toward anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi, and commanded his ministers to all generate this mind as well. At that time, because he feared the mighty vajra wrestlers, the nāga king also generated the mind directed toward anuttarā samyaksaṃbodhi, and the five rākṣasīs likewise generated the bodhimind.
